LLOOM-ISHUTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,602, dated November 13, 1883.

Application filed May 12, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. UHLINGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Loom-Shuttles; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of this invention, and is a vertical section of my shuttle. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the spindle.-

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the torsionspring.

This invention has relation to the shuttles of narrow-ware looms; and it consists inthe combination, with a headed spindle, of a per- 'foratedwtorsion-spring, through which the spinal.

end of which is open at the side of the shut tle, as indicated at I It represents the spindle, having a rounded head, Z, which is designed to be seated in the recess d, the other end of the spindle being 0 adapted to pass into the bearing 9 when the head Z is seated in saidrecess.

s designates a flat or torsion spring, which is secured to the body of the shuttle. It is formed with a bend or extension, it, having a perforation or bearing, m, through which the spindle is passed, so that when the extension springs against the shuttle-wall the head I will engage the recess d, and the other end, 12, of thespindle will be thrown into position in the bearing In order to place the quill on the spindle, the latter is turned outward sufficiently to receive it, and will then return to its place, the torsion-spring acting automatically to press the head of the spindle squarely into the recess d, and causing the toe o of the spindle to return to position in its bearing g.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

The combination, with a headed spindle, of a perforated torsion-spring through which the spindle passes, and the shuttlebody formed with a recess in the wall thereof, into which the head of the spindle is pressed by said spring, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM P. UHLINGER.
